Dakota Governor.
Special Correspondence of the INrER-OcEAS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA novel cure
has been discovered for Saint vitus'
dance. Henry Gildersleeve, of Pitts
burg, was threatened with the dread
ailment, and his father. who is a practi-
cal matchmaker, concluded that nothing
would save his son except a long trip
somewhere on foot. Hence he packed
his professional exit and started out
with Henry, to travel through Pennsyl-
vania and on to Washington. Neither
father nor son were III u hurry to reach
their destination, so they took their time.
The old gentleman frequently stopped
and did days work, to make both ends
meet, while Henry played in the green
fields, and shaded woods. They spent
ten days together in and about Gettys-
burg. On Saturday last. the lads tenth
birthday, he shook hands with Presi-
dent Cleveland who patted him on the
head and told him he was "a very clever
lad"
There is a strong feeling in this city
and the surrounding country against
Rev. DR.. McGlynn. Not only is this be-
cause of the we'll known catholicity OF
Maryland and adjacent territory, but
because of McGlynn's attack upon Car
dinal Gibbons. Now it is not generally
known that Cardinal Gibbons Is II WE'LL
beloved man in this part OF the country.
His elevation to the c%ardinalate did not
elevate him in the affections of tho peo-
pie here. Not unlike Bishop Whipple,
the Episcopal bishop Of Minnesota, Car
dinal Gibbons is an eminently holy man
and has often been compared to st. John,
the apostle. The affection and respect OF
the entire community goes out to him
spontaneously. There are men and
women here who can sec nothing good
in the Roman Catholic church nor in its
priesthood, who SEQ III the cardinal Il
man whom they haye known for years
as IAN lsrcalitc, indeed, in whom there
Is no guile" Therefore, it is bad policy
very bad policy, for DR.. McC;lynn, II re-
calcitrant priest, to attack and abuse tho
cardinal. Henry George is not Ill ora
tor, as McGlynn is, but he has all of tho
common sense there is in the cobimna-
ton. He wOuld neve make such IL bad
break as to make an attact upon such a
man as tho cardinal. Besides, insulting
his personal popularity, All assault upon
the cardinal but invites the opposition
Of the entire perfect machinery of the
church of Rome. McGlynn needs an in.
tellectual gag.
The course of ex-Speaker Carlisle, IN
the matter ct his contested election
seems to meet with the approval and
commentators Of til Q leading newspa
pers OF both parties. In stead OF making
a great fight and a bitter fight to rctaii
his seat in the house Mr.. Carlisle take
no testimony whatever. He says moth
ing either for or against his antagonist
He simply stands before the country II.
a man who is certified to u seat in tn,
house, and whose right to that seat i!
contested by another who claims tina
right. He makes no effort to rebut tn,
testimony taken by his antagonist. bu

magnanimous speeches eve known I,
be made in the history of American
politics. Mr.. Carlisle is deserving of I'll
the good things which are being said o
him II this matter. But it has been suy
gested by adoubting Thomas that if tl,cr,

Isle as to his being seated ~willynilly, H.
would make such IA contest AS woul,
make the halls OF tho house shiver AM

in that. But granting that Mr.. Carlisl
, is honestly and sincerity opposed t
fighting for his own position, IN orde
that fraud may be shown il any Their,

J. r. Dayton, OF Aberdeen, Dakota
one OF the wealthy and solid men OF tn
great Empire Of the west, is still here
, and has views. Unfortunately, he is

, who have views to talk Of but to den
